Canton Kitchen at Sri Rampai Business Centre 老招牌

I have posted this eatery joint sometime in 2010 and the business is still as good as before or maybe better. It is always crowded during the weekends and public holidays. One of my previous postings of Canton Kitchen, Sri Rampai can be viewed here.

Though it was crowded to the brim but our foods came pretty fast and we were impressed with it.

One thing for sure I can not miss is  this dish, my sons simply love it, bean curd with minced pork and long beans topping.

Simple stir fried water cress a fresh vegetable, produced in their place of origin at Bukit Tinggi, Pahang,

The amount of Honey pork ribs was just enough to distribute among us.

Assam sotong and prawns to spice up the meal.

Guang Xi stuffed Tau Pok with minced meat which comes in a soup form is my favourite.

The restaurant was founded in 1988 and is one of the earliest restaurants in Bukit Tinggi.
The founder is Loo Yin Chen together his brothers they started with a concept of homely restaurant and today they have spread their wings to Klang Valley in Setapak & Selayang from Bukit Tinggi.

Ban Chien Koay a.k.a. Apom Balik (Peanut Pan Cake) @ Setapak

Ever since I was a kid I love to eat this pan cake called "Ban Chien Koay" in Hokkien at the northern states of Peninsula Malaysia and it is also known as "Apom Balik". I still love it very much.

The Apom Balik seller spreads the batter on the heated pan evenly and making sure it is not too thick.

Then sprinkle some pound peanut, sugar and margarine into the pan.

And not forgetting to add on some sweet corns to enhance the flavour and excite the taste of a Ban Chien Koay.

At last the family size Ban Chien Koay is ready, cut into 6 manageable bites and eat them when it is piping hot. RM3.00 for this pan cake.

Sri Rampai Most Popular Coffee Shop - Breakfast

As far as breakfast is concerned in the vicinity of Wangsa Maju, Sri Rampai or Setiawangsa I can strongly recommend this place for a satisfying breakfast. Thiam Hua Coffee Shop.

Maybe start the day with a black local coffee and nothing like our local original Malaysian coffee…… "kopi kau kau”.

Pork Ball Noodle is one of the good food found in this eating house. This time I opted for “Loh Shi Fun” rice noodle.

This delicious noodle comes with bouncy pork balls, a slice of pork sausage and minced meat. I love to eat with sufficient persevered green cut chilli such a perfect blend. It is really gorgeous when you start putting this good thing into your mouth and occasionally slipping the soup. How wonderful life is…….

The best Char Koay Teow in this neighbourhood. It is really good and I always like the fry with a mixture of yellow noodle & Koay Teow. The yellow noodle creates the exciting bites where the Koay Teow provides the soothing taste of fried noodle.

The CKT man fry his CKT plate by plate, he takes pain to fry your noodle. It is not wet nor too dry but perfectly pleasant to the taste bud. A feel of prawns, cockle, spring onion & egg with the noodles is satisfying and not forgetting the fantastic smell of the steaming CKT.

There are other great food stalls like Dim Sum, Curry Noodle, Chee Cheong Fun etc etc for your choice. Try it if you have not done so and I bet you will be back again for more breakfasts.

Orchard Cafe - Medan Rampai Niaga, Setapak

We went out for a dinner without deciding where in particular to eat, so we went round and round and found this shop “Orchard Café” located at a newly developed commercial area Medan Niaga Rampai @ Setapak Kuala Lumpur.

The patronage was not that bad about 40% occupied and so we placed our order. The service was a let down there only 2 staff at the front line taking order, payment and retrieving used plates and arrangement of fresh tables.

Our drinks never come after a long wait which require a reminder, apparently they forgot…… never mind we can bear with it.

Thank goodness the food was good. We nearly gave up and leave the place. This RM9.90 steamed Tilapia fish in Thai style was fantastically delicious. We ordered another portion of this fish. I like the gravy mildly sour but tasty with strong & pleasant flagrant of lemon grass.

Sweet and sour pork was good too. The medium size portion was big (RM15.00) and was very pleasing to my sons.

Tofu on hot plate and Morning Glory (Kangkong) fried with belacan were nice and appetizing.

Go try this promotional dish of only RM9.90 – Steamed Tilapia Fish. It is definitely worth it and a good dish to venture.

We will come back for their western dishes and hopefully the staffing of this place will improve if not it will die of nature death.

More on Restoran Dragon City @ Sri Rampai, Setapak, KL

Here I will continue the documentation of the invasion of Bukit Tinggi foods into Setapak territory and more on Restoran Dragon City. My previous posting can be viewed here.

Steamed Tilapia fish (RM21.30 @ 850g) with wolfberry & Dong kui was magnificent. The gravy was super tasty and the fish meat was succulent and tender. It was very good indeed.

Wild boar meat (RM16.00) is easily available in Bukit Tinggi, instead of our usual curry cooked meat we had it in soy sauce and ginger. The meat was tender and the taste was gorgeous.

The thinly slices of fried pork belly (RM13.00) with sweet sauce was a killer. This dish is definitely better than the nearby restaurant “Canton’s Kitchen”. This one is more chewy and not that hard & dry.

The Home made Tofu (RM9.00) was good in it own way coated with a generous topping of minced meat. This is an all time favourite for my boys.

We ordered 2 veggies for the night. 

The 4 Heavenly King (RM10.00) was good. Supposed to be a combination of 4 vegetables, the French beans as crunchy as ever, brinjal was interesting and angle beans were delicious. Even though one of the ingredients was missing …. the lady finger.

Chinese cabbage (RM8.00) stir fried with dried small shrimps was well cooked and also scored a credit here.

This is a place worth visiting for a nice & simple meal.

Sri Rampai Best Prawn Mee Awaiting You.

There is a decent Prawn Mee stall in the neighbourhood of Sri Rampai, Setapak though not 100% close to those in found in Penang but enough to satisfy your crave for such Penang Prawn Mee.

This is the stall selling where you can get a reasonably good Prawn Mee in Setapak, the soup might be sweet but you do not have to worry about it. It doesn’t make you thirsty after eating it and it amazes me too.

The lady owner takes her time to prepare her food and always garnish her noodle nicely.

Add this chili sauce into your noodle if you want it hotter and spicier.

Sri Rampai Wonderful Fish Head Curry

Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan Rampai has been serving delicious fish head curry for a long time in Taman Sri Rampai, Kuala Lumpur and the food has been well accepted by the neighbourhood. The shop is now taken over by a new management, I guess the original owner has made enough money or is tired running the business. How much was the fee for taking over the business? One just wonders. The place has been face lifted with new sign board and half the shop is now air conditioned. The business is still ever bustling.

 

This is the must try Kari Kelapa Ikan with an option to add on squids and prawns. For the first timer I would recommend you to add the extras as some might find the portion of fish meat too little for a satisfying meal.

 

Stew soya soy pork belly with egg is a good choice and it’s yummy.

 

Stir fried veggie (choy sum) to balance up our diet and a dish of their special Tofu.

Restoran Rawang Steamfish @ Rampai Business Park, Setapak

Rampai Business Park is a new commercial development at Setapak, Kuala Lumpur and RBP is sprouting with many eating outlets with all kind of Malaysian cuisine. I brought two of my sons for a lunch at Rawang Steamfish Restaurant. Actually the shop looks more of a coffee shop rather than a restaurant.

A spicy steam pork ribs (RM9.00) with lot of chopped ginger and chili padi. We like it.

Steam Tilapia Fish just as it is done in Rawang by the popular Ah Lan Jia. Though not 100% exactly similar as Ah Lan Jia’s but it was as good and delicious. This dish cost us RM18.00, size wise medium.

Fresh Tofu (RM5.00) with dried small shrimps topping & soy sauce. This can never be wrong for my 2 younger boys.

RM7.00 Egg omelet can never be boring as far as I am concerned.

The damage resulted from this visit as shown above. Overall this place is worth coming back for a simple Tai Chow and I am glad that Rampai Business Park has become another food paradise for Setapak region.

Papa Poor Going to PappaRich @ Rampai Business park, Setapak

We went round Rampai Business Park looking for food. This is a new development of Sri Rampai vicinity in Setapak, there were shops with poor patronage and there were shops with good patronage. Papparich outlet is enjoying good patronage. This Pappa blogger is not rich but is bringing his family for a Papparich experience. Hopefully, after the meal this Papa will not get poorer.

I must say that the quality of food at Papparich is of a better quality compare to most Kopitiam outlets. I am amased by it and no wonder it is popular. This is my first time here at Papparich. So the adventure starts with these orders from four of us:-

PappaBun (RM2.80)– It was a simple bun but super duper bun to savour, though simple but sweet.

Pappa Curry Laksa Special with Foo Chok (RM9.90) – my pick for a big bowl of curry noodle, the curry tasted delicious but the ingredient was too little especially the poached chicken (2 small miserable pieces not for that price). The bowl is full of carbohydrate too much of noodle I would prefer with more bean sprouts in it.

Dry Koay Teow with Prawn(RM8.90) – Another satisfied customer with this nice rice noodle was my wife. I hope it was not a bias opinion as she had met the lady owner of Papparich before.

Pappa Fish & Chips with fried rice & Egg (13.80) – Xiang Yi’s choice of a big and sumptuous order (always like that) maybe a growing boy needs more food than his poor Papa.

Ipoh Koay Teow Soup with Prawn & Chicken (RM8.90) – My youngest son chose this and he was very pleased with his order.

Fried Fish Cake (RM5.80)– a side order to compliment of our meal and it was a right choice, succulent and tasty.

Fried Foo Chok (RM5.80)– This is another side order it was oily and nothing interesting to talk about this Foo Chok.

Pappa ABC Special with Ice Cream (RM6.90)– four of us shared this lovely dessert after our meal, the chendol & red bean were well prepared soft and soothing as they should be. The ice was finely shaved and the taste was inviting. I will give a thumb up for this ABC.

Goodbye PappaRich, PapaPoor will come back for more. Meanwhile we will start saving for you. Cheers…..
